Abstract

Frequently throughout human history, we question the nature of prominent concepts and ideas present in our lives. One such concept is that of the nature of art. Throughout my education, starting in high school and continuing at New College, I have been pursuing the notion of integrative and interconnected artistic ideals. While this has been a growing and ongoing study, the process came into focus last year during the conception of my fully original stage musical. This musical is called Symphony of A Survivor, and creating it provided me with an opportunity to experience the complexity of art firsthand. During the conception and writing of the musical, I was presented with a number of new outlooks on art’s possible definitions and place in our society. This experience culminated in artistic theories that encapsulate the notion of art forms as inherently integrative.
